Entertainment

3 out of 5

We were surprised that you had to make reservations for some of the breakaway theater shows. These shows do not have an extra charge, but reservations are required. You cannot just show up for a show time. If you do, you’re put in a stand by line. This frustrated other cruisers as well as us. We learned to check well in advance to see if reservations were required for a show we wanted to see.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Our cabin Stewart was fine, but some of the other staff were rude, impatient, and snappy. I don’t know if it was because of all the different languages they encounter, but treating the passengers with curt, quick, and loud gestures is not acceptable.
